Machine Learning Engineer

Full Time · In Office · USA

  • Why this role exists
  • DealSeek has more inventory than any person could browse. As we grow and add more retailers, ranking and recommendation will only become more important. Our recommendation system decides whether a shopper finds something genuinely useful or scrolls past noise. We have the users: our A/B tests are decisive within hours, and we have the privilege of no cold-start problem. Now we need a skilled engineer to tinker, deploy better models, and make every session more relevant.
  • What you'll do
  • Own the full ML lifecycle: data analysis, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration
  • Build ranking and recommendation models with Python and LightGBM that score millions of deals against real production traffic
  • Design A/B tests and causal measurement strategies that connect offline metrics to shopper behavior
  • Use embeddings and Milvus vector search to improve discovery, personalization, and cold start
  • Monitor model quality, drift, reliability, serving latency, and scalability in production
  • Use ClickHouse and Postgres to turn behavioral and catalog data into useful features
  • Partner with backend engineers on fast, observable model serving in Go
  • Improve our experimentation workflow with Optuna and Weights & Biases
  • Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience shipping ranking, recommender, search, or ads models
  • Strong Python and practical experience with boosted trees, embeddings, and vector search
  • Experience owning models beyond the notebook, including deployment, monitoring, and iteration
  • Strong judgment about A/B testing, causal measurement, and the limits of offline evaluation
  • Ability to read production Go and collaborate on model-serving systems
  • A bias towards iteration and measurement over a single, long-term research project
